Medium-Fatty Tuna

Medium-fatty tuna, often referred to as “Chūtoro” in Japanese, has a richer and more pronounced flavor compared to leaner tuna cuts. The marbling in Chūtoro gives it a buttery and succulent texture, and it has a good balance of fat to meat.

The taste is both savory and slightly sweet, offering a more indulgent and satisfying experience than leaner tuna varieties.

Medium-fatty tuna is highly prized in sushi for its luscious mouthfeel and enhanced flavor profile.
